painting the last bar stool…finally
Back in June of 2013 I painted the bar stools at my kitchen counter…well, two of them, anyway. I don’t recall why I didn’t get to the third one, but I’m sure I just got busy with other things and the idea of painting one bar stool seemed a bit boring. You can see the […]
